  • Asian Pacific American Activism and the Racialization of Sophistication
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: DISSEMBLING DIVERSITIES: ON “MIDDLED” ASIAN PACIFIC AMERICAN ACTIVISM AND THE RACIALIZATION OF SOPHISTICATION Douglas S. Ishii, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Directed By: Professor Christina B. Hanhardt Department of American Studies Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Studies Program Professor Janelle Wong Department of American Studies Asian American Studies Program Dissembling Diversities: On Asian Pacific American Arts Activism and the Racialization of Sophistication interrogates how contemporary Asian Pacific American (APA) arts activism and representation has been shaped by the bureaucratic administration of “diversity” after 9/11/2001. Through close readings of texts, it specifically examines Asian American representation within scripted network television programming, graphic novels and comic strips, and indie rock as iterations of panethnic activism in media advocacy, graphical storytelling, and the independent media arts. It understands these cultural forms and diversity itself through the framework of middlebrow culture, which is constituted of texts disseminated through popular culture that normalize the accumulation of cultural capital – or non-financial embodiments of class status such as education and literacy – as cultural citizenship. Dissembling Diversities makes evident how the elevation of these texts through discourses of “Art” and “diversity” relies on the association of cultural capital with whiteness, particularly through the racial exclusivity of their representations and through

Despite having been off the air since 2007, the show has garnered a lot of press https://bitchmedia.org/post/what-i-learned-from-growing-up-with-rory-gilmore#comments 1/8 10/15/2015 What I Learned From Growing Up With Rory Gilmore | Bitch Media since it arrived on Netflix, including the ubiquitous Buzzfeed and Huffington Post articles, “Gilmore Girls Explained By Someone Who Never Saw It” (http://www.buzzfeed.com/perpetua/gilmore-girls-explained-by-someone-who-never-saw-it) and “Lorelai’s Worst Outfits in Season 1 Of Gilmore Girls.” (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/08/lorelai-outfits-gilmore-girls_n_5951580.html) Besides the early-2000s nostalgia, the show has been remembered not only for its fast-talking dialogue and pop culture references, but for the beloved female characters created by show runner Amy Sherman-Palladino. In case you don’t recall, the show is about two “Gilmore girls,” mother and daughter Lorelai and Rory Gilmore (Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel), and the revolving cast of characters who live in the small town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut.

  • Calling Cut On
    Calling Cut On f lm incentives A policy brief by Beacon Center of Tennessee ron shultis, policy coordinator Originally, if you wanted to be around glitz, glam, and the “who’s who” of American celebrities, the place to be was in Los Angeles. Even the Clampetts of the iconic show Beverly Hillbillies knew that, with its swimming pools and movie stars. Southern California’s iconic role in American culture is so strong that it’s one of the few industries referred to by its location, “Hollywood,” similar to “Wall Street” and the financial services industry. However, in recent years other states have tried to create their own Hollywoods by luring the A-listers through movie production incentives (MPIs), such as tax credits, exemptions, cash grants, or fee-free locations. When Louisiana was the first state to offer an MPI In 1992, it created a tax credit for “investment losses in films with substantial Louisiana content.”1 After initial commercial and critic success of several Louisiana filmed projects, other states rushed to get a piece of the action, enacting MPIs of their own. By 2009, 44 states offered some type of film incentive.2 Tennessee created its Entertainment Commission (TEC) in 1987 to help “attract and bring to this state the production activities of film, television, record and other producers of entertainment properties.”3 However, Tennessee’s real efforts started in 2006 with the Visual Content Act, which created a fund “for the purpose of providing incentive grants that encourage the production of films, movies, television pilots or programs in the state of Tennessee.” Since then, TEC has distributed over $51 million in cash grants, with another $23.6 million committed or obligated to be spent in the near future.4 Proponents of film incentives often highlight the benefits of such programs.

Yellow Tokens: From Racist Depictions to Token Minorities By Debra Kates Capstone Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Cultural Studies Cultural Studies Program School of Liberal Arts and Sciences Columbia College Chicago May 12, 2017 Abstract The project argues that the misrepresentation of Asians in film is a direct result of white supremacy. It researches the presentation of East Asian Americans in films as a result of the hegemonic ideology of whiteness, focusing on the standard of movie star perfection as a form of white supremacy, and includes films that have white men and women cast in lead roles, even when the story is uniquely Asian. Using the theoretical lens of whiteness studies the project analyzes examples from the American film industry from the past fifteen years.
